Two Leg Wire Rope Sling

Two Wire Rope Sling

Gostern Two Leg Wire Rope Sling is engineered for balanced lifting of long or irregularly shaped loads using two attachment points. This sling features a common master link at the top for connection to the crane hook, and two wire rope legs each terminated with hooks, shackles, or eyes for load attachment . The dual-leg design provides superior load stability compared to single leg slings, preventing load rotation and enabling safe handling of beams, pipes, and other elongated objects . Available in pressed (swaged) or hand spliced construction, with galvanized or ungalvanized (bright) finish .

This Double Leg Wire Rope Sling is manufactured from high quality 6×37 or 6×19 wire rope , providing an excellent balance of flexibility and strength. The master link is forged from high-strength alloy steel, ensuring reliable connection to the lifting hook. Each leg length can be customized to match specific lifting requirements, and the included angle between legs can be adjusted within safe limits to accommodate different load widths . It is widely used as 2 Leg Bridle Wire Rope Sling for lifting steel beams and pipes, as Pressed Double Leg Sling in construction and manufacturing, as Two Leg Lifting Sling for Long Loads in shipbuilding and steel mills, and as Galvanized Two Leg Sling for outdoor and marine applications . Available in wire rope diameters from 6mm to 32mm , with standard leg lengths from 1m to 10m (custom lengths available) , and working load limits (WLL) ranging from 560 kg to 9,500 kg per leg , with total sling capacity dependent on the included angle between legs .

Leg Configuration Capacities (Total Sling WLL) :

• Vertical Lift (0°) : 2 × single leg WLL

• 30° Included Angle (60° from vertical) : 1.73 × single leg WLL

• 45° Included Angle (67.5° from vertical) : 1.41 × single leg WLL

• 60° Included Angle (75° from vertical) : 1.0 × single leg WLL

• 90° Included Angle : 0.71 × single leg WLL

Termination Types:

• Pressed (Swaged) : Aluminum ferrule, compact, smooth, 90-95% efficiency

• Hand Spliced: Traditional hand tucking, flexible, 80-90% efficiency

End Fitting Options:

• Hooks (吊钩) : Slip hooks, grab hooks, eye hooks, swivel hooks

• Shackles (卸扣) : Bow shackles, dee shackles

• Eyes (眼型) : Soft eyes, thimble eyes

• Combinations: Mixed fittings on each leg as required

Common Applications:

• Steel beam and structural steel lifting

• Pipe and tube handling

• Concrete pile and precast element lifting

• Machinery and equipment moving

• Shipbuilding (hull sections, components)

• Container and cargo handling

• Construction site material lifting

• Steel mill (slab, coil, billet handling)

Important Usage Guidelines:

• Ensure both legs are properly attached to the load before lifting

• Do not exceed the rated capacity for the specific included angle

• For included angles over 60°, capacity is significantly reduced – use longer legs

• Always lift with legs symmetrically positioned around the load's center of gravity

• Inspect master link, wire rope, and end fittings before each use

• Protect wire rope from sharp edges using edge protectors

• Regular inspection per ASME B30.9 standards

• Replace sling if wire rope shows broken wires, kinking, or severe corrosion

• Store slings in dry, clean area when not in use

We support Custom Length Two Leg Sling, OEM, ODM and various end fitting configurations to meet different lifting requirements.
